I'm glad you have the balls to release that information instead of giving the lame excuse of "privacy"

I value privacy. My sharing of this was with much reluctance.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

So now the question is does Trendon have money to pay people at this point or has it been lost to Zeek?

I see a few possible situations as of today:

1) He's got a lawyer. And if he has any money, you're going to have to sue him to get it.2) It had nothing to do with Zeek Rewards or any other Ponzi-pass through, and he's already absconded with everyone's funds months ago. The apartment is just a ruse with a VPN routing device connected through residential internet service.3) He got caught by the Feds and has turned states evidence on his clients and investors.

Many people have asked for his Legal Team's contact info and he has yet to provide it, so I very much doubt that there is any type of representation taking care of things on his behalf. I believe the reason for his wanting the account info for PPTs was so that he could pay out small accounts as money was available to him, as he needs to trade/manipulate the market to get back as many BTC as possible now, as most of his stake is gone.

I believe that we can get a ruling on Bitcoin related matters, whereas Bitcoin is a commodity with a clear money trail in and out of existing exchanges. Even though it can be 'mined' or manufactured, it can also be purchased like many other commodities.

I am curious, if the gov does not see this as money, how can it be fraud?...serious question...

i mean if we started trading tree bark and pretending it was money...wtf would the law do if i stole your bark?

If you steal anything of value it is still theft. Fraud is defined as using deception for financial gain. Fraud and theft are both crimes. The question is whether there exists enough real evidence to prosecute.

Those links don't work except the search page there, that works wonderfully and we can see the cases you point to, in great detail.

Looks like this guy has a few bad blips on his credit rating outside the bitcoin world.

What is this? All the cases are against Trendon, and random people.. pay it? Oh I posted before reading the 'Attorney' part. So those are lawyers, maybe contact one that has represented him in the past and maybe he is currently his lawyer?
